iOS App Store Now Has 500,000 Apps (Infographic)

The iOS App Store is not even three years old yet but Apple has already approved 500,000 apps in the USA’s App Store alone. That’s a whole lot of iOS apps for your iPhone and iPad. This is according to 148apps, who created a giant infographic to show off the accomplishment.

Some interesting stats about the App Store from the infographic include:

Average number of apps per developer: 4.6

Average price for paid apps: $3.64

Total number of free apps: 147,966

Total number of paid apps: 244,720

Projected total number of app sales for 2011: 15,000,000,000 (that’s 15 billion)

This next part isn’t included in the infographic, but I think it’s worth mentioning here for comparative purposes. These are the major mobile app stores and their respective app counts, as you can see Apple dominates here too:

Apple iOS App Store: 500,000

Google Android App Store: 200,000

Nokia Ovi App Store: 54,000

RIM Blackberry App Store: 30,000

Microsoft Windows Phone Mobile Market: 18,000

Palm & HP App Store: 6,405

Impressive numbers, aren’t they?

These are huge numbers but really I only use about 15 apps on my iPhone frequently, and maybe another 15 on the iPad. I think this is the same for everyone, plenty of choice but few you really need, and I mean this for all platforms not just iOS.
